Glass Door is a not-yet-quite-relevant web site where people can check out people’s opinions of companies and get salary info on specific positions at those companies. It’s a neat trick: they only let you look if you reveal  some tidbits from your own past and current employers.

But it’s not going to really, really work until a lot more unethical schmucks like me input more info. (Hint: JobKnobber editor’s salary = zilch).

In any case, this is an interesting if scientifically/statistically meaningless list of Glass Door’s top 50 for 2009. Congrats to GM for the number 1 spot! No, not General Motors . . General Mills! Yay cereal!

Latest addiction

Tons of updates via twitter, The Media is Dying has the depressing latest on things happening in media. Links to interesting articles as well as layoffs of the moment. Distracting. Depressing. Can’t look away.

200 Jobs, Ranked

This is a pretty interesting exercise: JobsRated.com has some fun lists: 10 best jobs in America, 10 worst jobs in America, a  comprehensive ranking of 200 different jobs, and a 10 most satisfying careers.

Interestingly,  they include methodlology  . . . which, truthfully, I haven’t bothered to read.

Even more noteworthy: “paralegal” outranks “lawyer” on the 200 list, respectively coming in at 17 overall (stress level a mere 23!) and82 overall (stress level 64. Geez!)

Every job description on the 200 list includes links to find the job title; I guess it’s yet another job clearance house. But with interesting pieces like this, I have some hope it’s less cumbersome and, um, bullshit prone than crap like monster, hotjobs and, increasingly, craigslist.

Finally, Some Employment-related news

Because obviously there’s been none since August. Thus my absence.

Ah, truthfully, I wasn’t really sure what I wanted to do with this site.

But I paid for my goddamn domain name, so I’m gonna make that ten bucks worth something.

I’m gonna get back to talking about work stuff.
